          ???? NO Fluids??

          Think again

          Also brake fluid flammable?

          If that was the case every car, would explode when brake are applied, the heat from brake pads is rather intense….

    i've used their super sin fluid, turned brownish in just a few months, and i've been easy on my brake as well.
    the changing interval is 12months for the penrite, instead of 24months for most other brands

    • markis on 22/06/2012 - 07:42
      +7

      thatll be about right. penrite is superior. I use all penrite gear oils, engine oils, brake fluid on my track cars. I would NOT use anything else purely because its that reliable and value for money.

      everyone please keep in mind this is Supr Dot 4 meaning it more than likely will not be compatible with your car if you have rubber brake lines. mixing this with your DOT 3 will destroy your brake lines and will be a costly exercise. ye have been warned. only use this with brass/braided/solid brake lines as teflon does not go well with the rubber lines.

      source: been using this for 7 years in race cars and ex mechanic.

      • Maz78 on 22/06/2012 - 08:53

        Appreciate the update as to what to use, but, the bottle in the op's photo says applicable for use where Dot 4, Dot 4 Super and Dot 3 are specified..????
        So what's the deal exactly??

      • bathuu on 22/06/2012 - 09:27

        So simply put this brake fluid is not compatible with every car?

      • mrfluffy on 22/06/2012 - 10:06

        Thanks heaps for the warning, mate. I will give mine to someone who can use it.

        +6

        no disrespect, as you have more experience than me, but I'm pretty sure that Dot 3, 4, and Super 4 are all compatible with rubber brake lines. They are all mutually compatible, but that being said, you dont want to mix them if you can help it. Better off getting a full flush done before swapping.

        IIRC Super Dot 4 is actually Dot 5.1, which is not related to 5.0 at all. Dot 5.0 is the one that you definitely cannot mix with any others, and is silicone based. Maybe you are thinking of 5.0?

        Penrite claim so at least:

          Yep dont mix them, if you use DOT 3, stick to it.
          If you flush out your system, you can start using DOT 4 in almost any vehicle with no problems. If you make this change, you should probably keep flushing the lines every 1-2 years, where DOT3 will usually last longer.

        sorry dude but where ever you got your info from is bogus. you can DEFINITELY mix dot 3 and 4. altho you will lose the temp rating of the higher DOT's by doing so which for 99% of people isnt an issue.

        source: been using it in my road cars and my track cars since the 90's, in cars as old as 1973, mixing dot 3 and 4 with no issue.

        edit: also check "machalel" link to the pdf above. penrite saying essentially the same thing :)

        • markis on 22/06/2012 - 15:57

          Lol go for it. Wtf would I know? Your the mechanic that has been using this type of hydraulic fluid for years in race cars. Go for it. Everyone should listen to you and penrites marketing and not someone that uses this everyday and lives by it. :)

        • NosDan on 23/06/2012 - 02:14

          actually im not "the mechanic".. im the "ex mechanic" somewhat retired for the last few of years. its a good thing to do before you hit 40, and i still gotta couple of years till then… and yes my 3 track cars are fine with mixes. and all my road cars are fine on a mix of it also, couple of which ive owned for 20 years.

          but hey, im sure you know way more than i do, and way more than penrite does, your an "internet mechanic" after all and im sure you know more than anyone else. no harm done to your rep bro. keep killin it yo!!

          cool story bro, lead astray the ozbargain population.

          whats the ingredient in DOT4 that makes the boiling point so high under heat? what makes it stable? that very same agent is what kills rubber. of course you should know that.

          what benefit do I get arguing the facts and helping the community? what benefit do you get for being wrong and leading people astray?

          maybe you were a dodgy mechanic for 40 years or whatever? the type that gave us enthusiasts that poor image? Kmart tyre and auto maybe. you may do dodgy flushes at your joint but thats not gonna cut it and dont tell people to do it on here.

      A bit too good for your Getz as this is a high performance oil. Lifespan of 12months rather than 24.

      Recommend you upgrade to braided fuel lines to use it as it will corrode your rubber ones.

    Good deal no doubht…but who actually here NEEDS super DOT4 in their cars? You guys take your car to the track much? I thought it was just a higher boiling point that was an advantage…

    If its the same Greg from GSL Rally then he's a good bloke to deal with - as mentioned before QFM HPX/A1RM pads @ very good prices, better then your Bendix/EBC crap.

    EDIT: nevermind I got confused - I was thinking of DOT5 that's not compatible with most cars.

    DOT3/4 is interchangable so no system flush required :p

    • BlackV8SS on 22/06/2012 - 11:48

      Interchangable… maybe, but CAN NOT be mixed together. (Just to make that perfectly clear to everyone.)

        "BlackV8SS" actually your wrong, you can mix dot4+ with dot3,and it will still be better, safer, and with this deal cheaper than using shitty dot3. maybe you need to look before you speak?

        edit: dot5 is the only one you cant mix with dot3,dot4 or fot4+ as has already been established in previous posts, including from penrite themselves….

    Hi,

    Greg from Brakes Direct here! Have to say I've never seen so much misinformation in my life!

    The product we're giving away is suitable for all vehicles that specify Dot 3, Dot 4 or Super Dot 4 brake fluid! This is VIRTUALLY every car on the road, but consult your owners manual or reservoir cap for details. And it will definitely NOT destroy rubber lines, that's utter crap from probably an employee of a rival brand…

    The only vehicles this won't suit is vehicles that require Dot 5 (not Dot 5.1) fluid! But this is quite rare…

    Any questions at all please don't hesitate to call our national hotline on 1300 724 943 or your local office direct:

    North QLD Ph: (07) 4422 0303

      Hi mate,

      It's definitely not a name change. Brakes Direct is a brand/trading name we launched to compliment GSL RallySport, because there was this false stigma that all we did was competition parts, which really is only 5-10% of what we do. The company is still GSL RallySport, but certain stores and all or our trade servicing ones will operate as Brakes Direct.

      So whilst Brakes Direct will just be brakes, GSL RallySport will continue to do brakes, suspension, race gear and apparel and lubricants.

  • dammit on 24/06/2012 - 13:06
